ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE
General Paul L. Freeman Jr. Commanding General
United States Continental Army Command (USCONARC) re
cently issued an Anniversary message to all members of
USCONARC which celebrated its 12th Anniversary Feb. 1.
The message said: "On the 12th anniversary of the United
States Continental Army Command I take this opportunity to
extend to yon all my congratulations and sincere appreciation
for the accomplishments during the past year.
During the past 12 months we were confronted by many
complex and varied tasks connected with the tremendous in
crease in unit activations deployments and the training base.
The initiative and dedication evidenced by both military and
civilian personnel in attacking these challenges were outstand-
am certain that the challenges of the coming year wiU
continue to be met with the highest

The Advanced Individual
Trainees (AITs) of the 2nd

to learn methods of expedient
road-building.

ions ideal for demonstrations of
the corduroy road the pierced
aluminum plank road (PAP)
and the wooden plank road.
The corduroy road was er
ected by the young "John Hen
ry Engineers" by setting round
legs over a soft road bed.
"This type of road" explained
Staff Sergeant John E. McNeil
instructor for the exercise "is
used to span short distances
of soft ground. Vehicle^ and
men can be moved over it
quickly and a platoon of ex
perienced engineers can cover
50 yards with this type of road
in about an hour.
'The logs" continued SSgt.
McNeil "are obtained from na
tive timber that means we
cut them and hue them our
selves."
The next road that the ITa
laid was made from pierced
aluminum planking.
"This is the type of planking
used for air fields and run
ways" explained SSgt. McNeil.
A plank road utilizing large
wooden beams was the third
type of road the trainees learned
to build. The heavy beams were
set down on the soft ground at
three-foot intervals and then
two beams were laid across
to provide a "track" for ve
hicles.
"This kind of road is often
used in desert areas over soft
sand" said SSgt. McNeil. "The
spaces between the beams are
filled in with what ever is
available rocks sand dirt."
As the fifth week of AIT
drew to a close the "John
Henry Engineers" continued to
live up to their motto "We
Pave the Way."

Field Exercises
Basic Unit Training (BUT)
for the "Blue Destroyers" of
the 2nd Armored Division's 1st
Bn. 41st Inf. continued this
week as field exercises in squad
tactics began.
Companies A and were
moved to the training area
where they were broken into 11-
man squads. A low hill was
designated as a defensive posi
tion.
Reconnaissance scouts were
deployed to find the most ac
cessible route to the objective.
Then the squads alternated as
offensive and defenive units.
Co. of the "Blue Destroy
ers" conducted mortar training
for all but personnel in the bat
talion and last week led the
trainees in live fire practice at
Reed Mountain Range.
Under the direction of Ser
geant 1st Class William Hayes
the men fired three types of
rounds from the 81 mm mor
tar. The rounds fired were the
blue jacketed training shells
the high explosive TNT and the
white phosphorus incendiary
rounds. Each was fired approxi
mately one mile.
Next week the men of the
battalion will be continuing
their training in squad tactics
and techniques of fring.

Division's 2nd Bn. 46th Inf. The
former instructor is Specialist
Martin V. Swanson.
Sp4 Swanson went to England
when he was 6 years old and
began riding horses at the age
of 10. After completing school
he was employed by the George
Underwood Riding Stables in
Ringwood Hameshire England.
In addition to giving riding
lessons Swanson was also re

tion before being left to ride
on their own" recalled Swan
son. "Most of the riders we had
were sent to us as a group from
nearby schools and ranged in
age from about 8 years to 18
years" he said.
Swanson left England in
April 1964 and returned to his
original hometown in New Jer
sey where he enlisted in the
Army. He took basic training
in Ft. Dix N. J. and later at
tended the Army Mechanic's
School in Ft. Siil. Since then
he has been assigned to Hq.
Co. 2nd Bn. 46th Inf. where
he works in the motor pool as
a mechanic.
When discharged from the
Army Swanson plans to return
to New Jersey and work with
his father.

created a problem in taking les
sons because of her father's
frequent duty station changes.
The 17-year-old Miss Chilton
has had only a year of formal
instruction. She became inter
ested in the organ after taking
piano lessons for only six
months. With no other musical
training the five foot three
blonde has developed a light
style which is evident in the
popular music which she plays.
Does she practice much?
"When I started I practiced
all the time except Saturdays.
I took that day off" said Miss
Chilton.
However "all the time" to
this musician means only 30
minutes of practicing daily.
Whether or not this much time
was spent in daily practice is
questioned by her mother.
Miss Chilton believes a per
son can lift lowered spirits with
music. She feels the main pur
pose of music is enjoyment.
"If I'm sad which isn't very
often I pick myself up by go
ing in and playing the organ"
she said.
